The pressure can be intense at times you always have to look a certain way to fit the

holding and maintaining certain positions I typically try to focus on staying present and in the moment. And I try to ignore any negative feedback.

Ive been body shamed in past because im not super skinny and ive been told to loose

weight then i loose it and then im too skinny and then its just a struggle having to hear a

lot of negative inputs about my body and how people view me it kind of hurts and its

gets to a person after awhile which is why a lot of models have eating disorders it’s very

sad to see. But as long as you feel good about yourself that’s all that matter I tend to not

focus on what negativity people put out and focus on what I need to get done.

10. What do you think is the most important thing for models to consider when working with clients or brands?
